The Piece

Effortless luxury,
built to last a lifetime

The cable chain is the oldest and most beloved chain silhouette in fine jewellery. Its design — interlocking oval links, each sitting at a right angle to the next — has remained unchanged for centuries because it is, quite simply, perfect. No excess. No trend. Just the clean geometry of precious metal at its most elemental.

Our 14K Solid Gold Cable Chain Necklace is crafted from 0.8mm links with the precise weight and drape of a piece that belongs on your skin every single day. Unlike gold-plated alternatives, there is no base metal hiding underneath — just 58.3% pure gold, alloyed for durability and destined to grow more beautiful with every year you wear it.

The Material

Why solid gold
is the only choice

The jewellery world is full of imitations. Gold-filled, gold-plated, vermeil — each layer closer to the real thing, but never quite arriving. Solid gold is different. It is not a coating over another material. It is gold, entirely, from surface to core. That distinction is the difference between jewellery you treat carefully and jewellery you simply live in.

Gold purity at a glance

What 14K actually means

58.3% pure gold 41.7% strengthening alloys

9K 37.5% Entry-level fine gold. Durable but less rich in colour.

14K ✦ 58.3% The sweet spot — rich colour, everyday durability, lifelong wear.

18K 75% Deeper colour, softer — preferred for statement and heirloom pieces.

14K is the choice of women who wear their jewellery in the shower, at the gym, on the beach, and to every dinner in between. It does not need special storage or careful removal at the end of the day. It is jewellery as it was always meant to be — worn.

How to wear it

Three ways to
style the cable chain

Worn alone, the cable chain is a study in quiet confidence. At 0.8mm, it catches light without demanding attention — a glimmer at the collarbone that is noticed, never shouted. Choose an 18″ length to let it rest just below the hollow of the throat, or an 16″ for a more intentional, styled look.

Perfect for open necklines and fine knitwear
The ultimate everyday minimalism
Ideal for work, weekends, and every moment between

The cable chain was made to layer. Its fine, flat links sit without tangling alongside box chains, rope chains, or beaded styles. The rule is simple: vary the length by 2 inches between each chain, and keep your metals consistent for a unified look.

Pair a 16″ cable with an 18″ box chain for contrast
Add a 20″ pendant chain as the third, longest layer
Mix chain textures — flat cable against round rope is the classic combination

The cable chain's sturdy lobster clasp and even link distribution make it the ideal host for a pendant. The 0.8mm width provides a delicate frame without disappearing — the chain becomes part of the composition, not just a means to hang the pendant.

Sized for most standard bail and jump ring attachments
Carries your initial pendant, birthstone charm, or meaningful talisman
Choose 18″ for pendants that sit at the collarbone; 20″ for heart placement

The Edit

Your questions,
answered

Yes — completely. This is solid 14K gold, not plated. Water, steam, mild soaps and chlorine will not damage or discolour it. Wearing it consistently is actually preferable to storing and removing it repeatedly, as the gentle friction of daily wear maintains its polish naturally.

No. Solid 14K gold does not tarnish. Unlike plated jewellery — where a thin gold layer can wear away to reveal a base metal beneath — solid gold maintains its colour and brightness indefinitely. Over decades of wear it develops a warm, lived-in patina that many collectors consider more beautiful than the original finish.

16″ — choker, sits at the base of the throat.
18″ — princess length, rests just below the collarbone.
20″ — matinee length, falls at the top of the chest.
22″ — longer, relaxed drop. Layering anchor or solo statement.

When in doubt, 18″ is the classic choice.

Yes. Our 14K gold is nickel-free, making it hypoallergenic and safe for the most sensitive skin.

Gold-plated jewellery has a thin gold layer electroplated over a base metal. That layer wears away over time. Solid gold contains no base metal — every millimetre, from surface to core, is the same alloy. It cannot wear away to reveal anything else, because there is nothing else.
